Our Background
We are a team of designers, technologists, academics, and business types. In short, we're quite the litter.
Myplanet was founded 3 years ago by Jason Cottrell.
In the beginning, it was one guy in a basement making websites. Today, we have a team of almost 40 talented people working at 2 offices in North America. Our mission has evolved from making sites to making meaning. Technology is our toolkit. Design shapes our thinking. Business acumen grounds us.
Last year we grew at 300%. (Hey,
we’re hiring!) We continue to grow quickly—not for the sake of growth, but because growth allows us to do more. We want to grow so we can attract the best and work on the toughest challenges. Did we mention
we’re hiring?
Our Team
Our team is like the von Trapp family: exuberant, enthusiastic, & vocal (ok, so we can't sing...and most of us don't have a "von" in our names, but hey, we're a fun interdisciplinary bunch.)
